Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Optional BBQ Sauce

Ingredients:

5 – 6 pounds bone in shoulder or boneless pork picnic roast (can be one piece of meat, or two as shown here)

1-3 onions, depending on how large they are

2-4 Tablespoons oil

1 envelope onion soup mix

1 Tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning

2 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar

Optional: BBQ sauce to add into the cooked meat, or to serve on the side. I really likeSweet Baby Rays, clickHEREfor flavor varieties

Directions:

Slice the onions to about 1/2″ thick and lay in the bottom of the crock pot.In a large heavy bottom pan, heat the oil.

Put the pork in and brown well.

Turn and continue to brown on all sides. This step gives a wonderful flavor to your meat.Place the pork roast on top of the onion slices.Evenly pour the onion soup mix, Montreal steak seasoning and Balsamic vinegar over the top of the pork.Cook on low until the pork is completely cooked through and shreds easily. *This is after the ‘normal done cooking temperature’. About 8-9 hours.Remove the pork from the crock pot/slow cooker and shred.I LOVE these Bear Paws for shredding meat. If you’re interested you can click HEREto check them out!

Strain the juices from the porkIF storing the meat overnight, a few days or to the freezer, put the shredded pork in a zip lock bag – according to the portions you desire.

Then, with pour the strained juices over the meat (do NOT add in the BBQ sauce with this step!) which will keep the meat moist and tender.Use the meat within 4-6 months for best results. Thaw properly in the refrigerator and warm slowly when ready to serve.After shredding, you can add in BBQ sauce and serve as prepared BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

OR serve as Pulled Pork Sandwiches with just the right amount of spice and flavor.

***I like to serve BBQ sauce on the side for those who like sauce; then they can put it on their sandwich and it also accommodates those who don’t.

Carrie this looks delicious, and full of flavor! The hubby and I both like pulled pork. I like using my slow cooker, sure makes it so much easier and it comes out so tender. I use onion soup mix on beef roast but haven’t tried on pork.
Those bear claws are pretty cool, looks like it makes the job so much easier.

Oh, Linda, you MUST do yourself a favor and try those Bear Claws! I love them and the meat comes out in nice shreds instead of in little pieces so the meat stays more tender too. I love the onion soup mix on a good roast, so I know I’m in good company with YOU! Thanks so much for coming by!
